[QUOTE="dragos03, post: 778998, member: 44724"] It sucks that the Russians got two wins but won't be able to play in the competition next season, while clubs with no wins like Pau or Agen will be there again unless they get relegated in their domestic league. If the Challenge Cup is considered a burden by these smaller clubs, why not remove them from it? Open up the competition to Russian, Romanian, german or Spanish clubs who could improve a lot by participating in it. It's so unfair and ridiculous that the Russians for example will be forced to play in the qualification playoffs, regardless of their results. It's the worst two clubs from a given year that should play in these playoffs, regardless what league they are from! Currently Pau and Calvisano sit on the bottom of their groups with zero points, Calvisano will be in the qualifiers but not Pau, is there any other sport in Europe where this can happen? Emisei-STM has better results this season that the following clubs: Pau, Calvisano, Worcester, La Rochelle and Agen. [/QUOTE]
